6’7” Javan Simmons - 12.0 ppg & 4.8 reb - Junior
6’1” Ajay Sheldon - 4.8 ppg & 5.5 reb - Senior

Team Stats:
Ohio averages 74.5 points per game while giving up 88.3.
The Bobcats shoot 45.2% from the floor and 28.6% from 3.
Opponents shoot 48.0% from the floor and 40.9% from 3.
They shoot 68.3% from the free throw line.
They have been out rebounded by opponents to the tune of 8.8 boards per game and average 12.3 turnovers per contest.
Stats: https://ohiobobcats.com/sports/mbball/stats
Thoughts: Jackson Paveletzke is legit. He is averaging 20.5 ppg on 51.9% from the field and 54.5% from 3. He also leads Ohio in assists. He had 28 points against #12 Louisville. Limit him and our chances of winning go way up.
Don’t just focus on their record. They are solid and should not to be taken lightly. They have played a much tougher schedule than we have, playing Saint Mary’s (KenPom 24) and Louisville (KenPom 9) on the road. Both were 25+ point losses but great experiences nonetheless.
2 All-League performers should give us a good test in our first game away from EBA this season. Mason by 6-8. I hope we put together a solid 40 minutes.
